The mounts I got from Johmey, for my 64 Valiant, are the same thickness as the stock rubber mounts. I needed them to raise the oil pan/motor off the "K" member.

I wonder if Dutch might have received the 2469 mounts rather than the 2303-2304 mounts correct for his '64.

That mount is definitely shorter.

the where 12mm short... so an iron plate is now installed, since the rubber old ones where too fare gone to re-install.
The car is o-kay when driving it, but stationairy the whole car is rattling. I will have to look for rubber ones again since I am definately not gonna drive with this it's a damn waste.
The engine is so extremely smooth, I changed all fluids, from gearbox to dif to engine oil and there is no sign of any wear or metallic residu. The car is mechanicaly extremely well; but this just ruines the whole car...

12mm too short = definitely not the right parts.

little late to notice my notifications...

When I got my crv I pulled the entire interior and drove it naked sheetmetal for a while. I cleaned the roof and installed butyl mat (dynamat) on the inside of the roof sheetmetal. Then I used a layer of thinsulate before reinstalling the headliner. This headliner is a modern composite board material with a felt like material on the passenger face.

I used the same butyl mat on much of the steel behind the interior panels. I basically went around tapping the panels with my fingertips, if it resonated I adding some butyl until the sound changed. The plastic trim panels had a layer of 5mm closed cell foam stuck to the inside of them anywhere that I could fit it without making the panels bulge. I added more thinsulate in places that allowed for it.

The floor was more butyl with the same tapping for resonance. This was followed with a layer of a 3/8"-1/2" synthetic carpet underlayment under the factory carpet.

It is definitely a lot of work and only worth it on a car you plan on keeping for a while. When I got my crv it was an un-rusted california all wheel drive manual trans with a good interior/exterior. So I figured it was worth the effort.


as far as where to add the flex coupler to an existing exhaust. I would probably leave the solid mount at the bellhousing and put the flex coupler just behind it. I think they added that solid bellhousing mount to take some of the weight off of the exhaust manifold. I have long wondered if the cracking manifolds were caused by poorly supported tailpipes causing vibrations and strain that broke after runner #3. Flex couplers don't like to twist, they last longer if they only flex.

nope, and I specificaly asked for the right parts... did cost me about $ 227 parts & shipment and another $80 customs...
Then I needed a mechanic to put them in; which costs about $90 an hour over here... Then they didn't fit so it had to be custom made to get the car even running...
i'm not a mathematician but I do know when something costs me way too much for this crap... The whole ride is ruined and it's probably gonna cost me a lot more time & money to get the car fine again.
At the moment I am not in my happy space

But…why didn't you contact Johnny and tell him the parts are wrong?

Were they allowing the engine to sit too low in the K frame? Pan hitting the frame? I will be happy to measure mine and see how tall they are. I know that won't help you but if they are the same as mine then something else is going on. Sorry for your troubles.

Weird. I have used multiple sets of those mounts on my 64 Dart, 66 Valiant and 62 Valiant with no fitment issues. You must have received the wrong ones. They will probably transmit more vibration, which I would not notice since I have bumpier high HP engines.
